Well. Up here in MO we got around 8" of rain in the last couple days, and it ain't done with us yet. I live near the Meramec River and it's supposed to have a 'historic crest' on Weds., 30.5' above flood stage, my house sits at 31' 
. Even though my house is equipped with a sump pump and does a pretty good job on 'normal' rainfall amounts, it can't keep up with the present water table and is seeping up all along the perimeter of the basement (a finished one at that). The wife and I did "flood watch" last night with the ShopVacs, 2 hours shifts, because it's seeping at a rate of around 15 gallons per hour (dump it three times per clean up). Going to be playing this game until Thursday most likely. Luckily I'm off until Jan. 4, so the crazy sleep schedule won't mess with me too much. Everything on the south side of the train tracks (visible from my house) will be under at least 4' of muddy-ass water, but if you bought a house on that side of town you can almost expect it every few years.
Not looking for sympathy as MANY people across the US have been devastated by the crazy weather this year, and no evacuation order has been posted for our area (yet) ["right" side of the tracks, so to speak], but it might help explain strange post times at ungodly times of the morning for the next few days.
